Of course, finally I landed here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15992331&postcount=4

but

so I'd like to see how it looks like :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kahvitahra:
Wtf man :D

Those pictures in MY thread shows what that looks like.

That your link goes to odssessed theme for sgs1.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] norpan111:
When i clicked the link it showed me hes post and download to sgs2 with screenshots
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ebliss:
I have installed your mod. Find that when I pull down the notification bar, and tap anywhere other than the scrollable toggles, the notification bar will not pull back up. That is normal.

But, if I were to scroll left/right on the toggles, before I have the time to decide which one I want, the notification bar pull itself up.

Great mod btw.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] norpan111:
It says it contains edt with custom date, but how do i make my date visible :p cant find it in edt tweaks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kalpik:
So you want me to come to your house and click the link for you? :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kahvitahra:
Its in settings under date and time.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kahvitahra:
Make sure that you dont touch that bottom bar while start scrolling. That way notification will stay down.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ebliss:
Hi,

just tried. even if I don't touch the bottom bar, and only touch the toggles, the notification bar still gets pulled up.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kahvitahra:
Wierd, because i could scroll that for a day back and forth and it stays down.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Nebucatnetzer:
I tested yesterday cognition, leomar and baptista but I came back because all of them had some tweaks or themes which I didn't like. Your ROM is great for a clean base where I can build on cheers for this.

By the way do you know if the brightness levels for the auto mode are a rom thing or a kernel thing?

Orly? Which server is it coming from?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kalpik:
http://rootmydroid.evoboxes.net/pulser/VillainROM/SGS2/VillainROM-2.4.2-signed.zip

Downloading ~ 50KBps
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] coudu:
The first as already been done by pulser and the second will probably lead to villain tweaks not showing any tweaks (based on Rom version)

edit: pulser was faster (some kind of Chuck Norris keyboard practice I guess... ;-) )
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
That's a gigabit server... What is your connection capable of? I wonder if your provider doesn't have good routing for that network
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] fluke2k:
Ok, then I guess I'm running 2.4.2 now with my 2.4.1 ;-)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kalpik:
Connection capable of only double that speed :p

Just so you know, I was downloading at full speed before (2.4.1).. 2.4.2 is coming slow :( Maybe its overloaded? methinks your loadbalancing is not quite right..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rapa_:
just downloaded and installed..

the speed was good!!

EDIT: BLN is working with whatsapp...

i didn't found any option specific for whatsapp...

bought the pro version from market... and it's working for whatsapp!!!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
There is no major load balancing there - it's likely 2.4.1 was coming via the main server, which is a different DC.?

I will add another 2Gbps of bandwidth when I get home
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] xxhorseriderxxx:
I'm confused as to why there is an insistence to use ninpo's kernel. I kindof liked CF root instead because of the CWM app that let me flash kernels without increasing my counter and had quick buttons for reboot, DL mode, and recovery... does ninpo still allow the features of CWM? I'm extremely hesitant to upgrade from 2.3 XD
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kalpik:
2.4.1 was coming from the same server :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Jeremy:
thanks so much for your hard work :)

awaiting the lite version :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Jason93:
Why don't you make it by yourself?It's not so difficult :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] coudu:
You could make a CWM flashable zip of CF-Root and flash it right after flashing VR-2.4.2 before rebooting. That way you will never be on ninpo's kernel...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mach0boi:
This thread is fast! :)

Pulser, any reason why you didn't went for an ODEXED one? ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Flowlance:
Can we just flash CF-Root after this? I don't want the new kernel as it brought me the yellow tint issue back.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dorilife:
Yeah it downloaded as usual no problems here either..

Couldnt wait and flashed while i was on my break at work..lol

Same quality! Great work!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Thanks to veyka, the VR kitchen might be in action in this rom again :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yes, more irc people wanted deodexed. Tomorrow I'll package the odexed files for those who want odexed
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yes you can, but no BLN support then
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mach0boi:
Is this a FULLY ODEXED ROM that we're talking about? ;)

Reflash ninphetamine from here as it seems you flashed CWM recovery rather than installing the CWM manager app, ninphetamine has CWM recovery, you just dont get the bloody app.

Theres a copy in my 4shared(see sig) and posted in this thread

Guys - the Market app that comes with this is fairly old (2.3.6), what's the safest way to upgrade to a later / the latest version? Thank you!

I have noticed that I can't seem to get my phone into usb mode anymore... I want to access the phones memory from my pc, but when I connect it, the phone doesn't give me any way to attach as external drive...

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Jason93:
I am charging my phone right now and I can't receive sms/calls.. :/ Anybody can test it??:confused:

EDIT:Flashed again modem,charge completed but still the same problem insists.Maybe it's a problem of the operator.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Nothing like that here, my phone was on charge all day today and I was receiving sms absolutely fine...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] alsafady89:
All positive experience with this rom so far, but I can't seem to get the battery life everyone is talking about, i get 34 -38 hours approximately, I attached pics from betterbattery stats, the pics are from 100% to 12% charge, does everything look good or is there something i could work on?

Thanks alot

Anyone having problems returning to normal after switching to Airplane mode? I can go to Airplane mode, but unable to switch it back. Only a reboot works.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sergiu84:
OK, found a weird one. I open Spotify, then turn on Bluetooth, press play on my MW600 headset so that it forces pairing with the phone, then go back to Spotify to play something and the song sticks at 0:00, and no audio comes through of course. The only way to fix it that I've found so far is to reboot the phone.

Very odd..!

Wifi off when screen off?

Profuse apologies for displaying my extreme ignorance, but despite much reading and searching, I can't find the setting that forces wifi to turn off when the screen is off. Probably can't see it for looking. A quick pointer in the right direction is all I need. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kalpik:
Wifi Settings -> Menu button -> Advanced.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] coudu:
When in wifi settings press menu then advanced and you're done ;)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mantian:
First of all, thanks again for this good and hard work you are doing with VR!

Each new version surprises me more, but I miss one tweak I had with the first version I had of VR, which was a buttom during a call that made us able to record the conversation (both the one I called and me). Doesnt anyone else miss it? Why it isnt avaible anymore with the rest of the tweaks?

Thanks for your answers.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Rapa_:
But wifi consumes less battery than 3g, so unless you disable 3g and wifi... leaving wifi on with the screen of consumes less battery than disabling wifi and use 3g when the screen is off

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shaques:
hi,

the only thing i miss on the kh3 version is the MOD No increasing ringtone volume. Any clues as to when such mod will be availlable?

thanks!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] irish-sid:
I know it said it would take a good ten minutes on first boot, but mine is at about 40 minutes now and still have the flashing android gif boot up thing.

What do?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] r34p3rex:
WiFi has higher idle power usage than 3G. 3G has higher power usage during sustained transfers than WiFi.

Idling with WiFi off will save you more battery given you don't have any sustained data transfers going on in the background
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] irish-sid:
Me again.

I decided to boot back into CWM and re-wipe.

I rebooted and the VillainRom screen was there again.

Also, I couldn't find the zip in the sd card even though it was on it.

But while looking around for answers it did boot and in the about phone section it says I'm on villainrom.

Is this normal?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
The zip you are supposed to put on internal sd not external.

Obviously if it says VillainROM in phone section then you're on the right track.

Transmitted from a Galaxy far far away via XDA telepathy.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] irish-sid:
Oh. I though I read the instructions pretty well o_O

So it worked off my external then? Is there any need to do it again but from the internal? I mean, will I lose it if I take my SD card out?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mynamesteve:
afaik Chainfire's kernel is the only one that can detect external sd atm.

I always use internal sd, less chance of issues.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mantian:
Thanks for answering, i was just wondering. It's a pity but not a big deal xD
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
I believe it's safer to flash anything from internal_sd instead, since it's the part that's actually built into the device. Not an external device which needs to be inserted.

Internal = more stability when flashing stuff IMO.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] veyka:
No, its all flashed safely onto your /system partition, tucked up in its little digital bed of happyness and flash NAND.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] desean:
No increasing ring is already available for VR 2.4.2. Just search within the topic and you can find it -> http://goo.gl/zFbA2

Not sure why you are talking about KH3 version? VR 2.4.2 is based on KG6. If you are using another ROM based on KH3 then you shouldn't be asking here.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nishant1014:
Is villain rom kh3 version coming out any time soon??
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] runedrune:
There aren't any major differences so probably not.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shaques:
well, I'm using VR 2.4.2. I know it comes with kg6. However, a few days ago a lot of people were discussing the advantages of using kh3 with VR, so I decided to try it. It seems better. However, that MOD doesn't work with kh3.

Its still the only thing I miss with this combo (VR 2.4.2 + kh3)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kahvitahra:
Flasing other modem dosen't change your rom to kh3 or whatever. You still have kg6 rom, so you can use that fix.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Correct. Modem != ROM :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] p5x:
no one else getting bootloops to VR lite after applying this tweak?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Is it odexed or deodexed?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jooboo:
So flashing kh3 modem with kg6 rom is better? Am I able to flash the modem itself, like I would with a kernel or do I have to so a full flash with rom
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] anupam_luv:
Simple ques.... When VR is coming out with KH3 .... Im using litening rom 6.1 (KH3) but it has a very bad battery ... same android os eating up 70% of battery during sleep.. tried everythng incl wiping everythng etc....

I wanna come back to VR but with KH3....
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] serrov91:
VR doesn't include any modem.. you have to flash the kh3 radio file (like for a ROM or a kernel) after having VR installed...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kahvitahra:
Just flash modem via odin. Put the file in "phone" part at odin and flash.

Or there is also cwm files of modems. Check sticky thread in this dev section for modem files.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] p5x:
Not sure, i'm just using the lite version posted in this thread and the fix from VR tweaks.

Managed to get it working now though but i've lost the APM now.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] runedrune:
Yeah you'll have to pick. Either APM or the home button tweak.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kahvitahra:
Or you can navigate to my thread and have both..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] desean:
you must have one of kahvitahra's mod installed. if yes, then you would have to use kahvitahra's version of the home button lag fix. see -> http://goo.gl/EhxUJ

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] darkalchemist:
hmm, I'm having battery drain with this rom. Seems like Email is wakelocking most of the time. I only have it syncing 1 exchange email account with calendar, contacts and tasks. Is there a known issue I'm missing?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ediflyer:
It's not a problem specific to this ROM - it also affects stock SGS II as well. Exchange seems to cause a massive battery drain, even more so if two accounts being synced. In my case it is also forcing on-device encryption - I'm not sure if that's the case for you as well or not. My workaround was to use TouchDown by Nitrodesk - sadly it's not free (although there is a 30 day trial so you can see if it works), but battery life improved dramatically after switching my Exchange account from stock Samsung mail app to TouchDown. I'd say it's worth a shot at least - please let me/us know how it goes and if it helps please file an issue with Samsung as they seem to be ignoring the problem. It's certainly not a VR issue.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kaynow:
Isnt it enough when you just deactivate push and let sync your account just one time per hour or something.

I guess push is causing the battery drain, isnt it?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ediflyer:
No, I don't think push is the issue. I tried reducing to 15 min or 1 hourly checks and still had the same really poor battery life. I'm now back on push with TouchDown and routinely getting >24 battery life with VR.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] desean:
i think it depends on what you want, it is a personal choice. i choose gmail push over battery life because i can live with the 1+ day that my SGS2 gives with this choice (background sync, data always on except at night).

excluding partial wakelock issues from apps, i believe the 2 main battery drain for SGS2 is the screen and data usage. of course push will "use" data more often then a infrequent scheduled sync. it is your phone, so i think it is important to enjoy using it the way you like. it is about choice :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ediflyer:
As I say, with push active on Gmail (3 accounts) and Exchange via TouchDown I'm easily over a day with VR. With Gmail and Exchange via built-in Samsung mail app I'm down to a few hours - there is definitely something majorly buggy with their app - two colleagues have noticed exactly the same problem.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Nebucatnetzer:
Could you try vanilla email? Maybe it works with it. I can't try it because I don't have a exchange account at the moment.

Greetz Nebucatnetzer
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ediflyer:
By vanilla do you mean stock Gingerbread? If so I don't know where I'd get hold of that - presumably would need to install a different ROM altogether, which TBH I can't be bothered doing. I've tested it enough adding/removing the Exchange a/c to the Samsung email app to know it's buggy. I've now paid for TouchDown and it works fine so I'm just going to stick with that! Also whole-device encryption doesn't place nice with non-stock ROMs (although is OK with rooted devices), whereas TouchDown just keeps its own encrypted DB so there's no problem using non-stock ROMs.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] A$h x:
KH5 firmware is now out. Once it is upped at samfirmware, pulsar and the gang can get their hands on it, and hopefully the newest Villain ROM will be released!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
Just don't expect anything too soon, unlike other devs Pulsar doesn't update a perfectly good ROM for the sake of a number bump hence not updating to KH3. I prefer this method as means we only get updates that are worth upgrading for and not one every week which is pointless. If the reports of KH5 are positive and there is something worth updating for then you can expect an update. It gets kind of annoying seeing people always asking for updates when if they'd cared to have read the thread and the one before you'd know only worthwhile updates are released so just be patient or flash something else.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mb:
Agreed. I used to flash ROMs like mad, but now (and maybe it's me getting older) I can't be arsed unless it significantly improves on what I've got.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Nebucatnetzer:
Aye I meant the stock gingerbread one. Doesn't matter if you're happy with your solution then, it's okay. I will try it anyway next week when I start to work again.

Greetz Nebucatnetzer
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] koreancanuck:
Have to agree with that as well. I used to be a flashaholic when I owned my Magic (although really during those times, you NEEDED a custom rom to make your phone faster). Slowed things down with my Captivate and I've been on Villainrom for at least a week now on my SGS2 and no plans of updating unless it's a worthy update.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Kashban:
Well, I got one problem with VR 2.4.2 lately, as of the Power Menu no longer works. There is a vibration feedback after pressing the power button for a few secs but no Menu is showing up, instead the OS does a soft reset.

I used VillainTweaks to apply the blue circle mod earlier, but am not sure whether this had been the problems.

How to get the advanced power menu back? Reflash VR?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
I suspect that Samsung will probably soon make some more obvious changes in response to Apple's patent violation claims regarding things like "slide to unlock gesture". Once these start coming through, an update may be more worth while.

Until then, 2.4.2 rocks.

I flashed VR 2.4.2 over Litening rom (did everything, full wipe, etc.).

My modem is KH3 (probably left from Litening), is that ok or should i flash KG6 ?

This rom is really nice, however i'm missing Croatian swype...is there a way to install it ?

Also i think there's some battery drain, however, may it be caused by the non-KG modem?
